Dear Mrs. Colwell:

The heads of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs and the UN 
Development Programme are Nitin Desai and Mark Malloch Brown respectively.
However, these individuals are not actually implementing or supervising
the projects, so I don't know if it would be correct to call them "principal
investigators".  You can learn more about these men and their agencies on the
internet at http://www.un.org/esa/desa.htm and http://www.undp.org/indexalt.html 

Good luck with your project.

Dear Mrs. Colwell:

Thank you for contacting the UN Foundation.  We hope that you found our
website an informative and useful resource.

As per your inquiry, the Department of Economic and Social Affairs is
implementing the India project, while the UN Development Programme is
implementing the China project.  Unfortunately, we have not received a
progress report on either project.

Again thank you for writing and for your interest in the work of the
Foundation.

With best wishes,

Jennifer Hidalgo
Public Affairs Officer
